You know what’s wild? There’s some new gear for us PSP fans to get hyped about. Yep, the PlayStation Portable is getting some love in this whole big 30th anniversary bash PlayStation’s throwing.

Alright, so here’s the scoop. The anniversary shindig kicked off last year in 2024 and it’s still rollin’ into 2025. They’re doing all sorts of stuff, like game sales and special PS5 themes. And hey, a few special edition PlayStation things too. It’s kinda feelsy, seeing all these pieces of the past mashed with the new.

And let me sidetrack for a sec—why does everything have anniversaries now? I mean, I get it, but then again, it’s just gadgets, right? But okay, back to business. Even though most of the focus is on the home consoles, the good old PSP ain’t forgotten. GoodSmile whipped up this cool PSP collection for the 30th. They’ve got these acrylic stands and keychains that look like 3D PSP-1000s. White and black. Kinda neat, right? They’ve got little bits inside that mimic those iconic PSP buttons. Shake ’em, and they rattle around. Like, who even thinks of this stuff?

Anyway—wait—oh yeah. GoodSmile didn’t spill the beans on how big these things are. But, there are some pics out there. Stands and keychains look a bit different—stands are monochrome, keychains pop with color. Pricing? Pretty friendly, I’d say. Stands at 1,760 yen (about $11.85 USD) and keychains at 1,320 yen (like $8.89 USD). No launch date yet though. It’s like, c’mon, stop teasing already!

But say you’re more into stuff that does more than just sit there, right? Well, the anniversary PS5 stuff’s back. Like the DualSense controller and console bundles with designs from the original PlayStation’s era—gray and black, nostalgic vibes. They flew off shelves when they first came out, but they’ll be up for grabs again starting July 23. Better not dilly-dally, ’cause these things are hot!

Here’s the lowdown. If PSP nostalgia gets your heart racing or you’re eyeing those special PS5 goodies, time to act quick. Stuff’s gonna fly fast. Isn’t everything these days?
